Morphology
The sense 'a relationship where two variables increase or decrease together' is directly derivable from combining 'direct' (here meaning 'in the same direction' or 'positive') with 'correlation' (a statistical relationship). This straightforward modifier–noun composition is common and has clear cross‑linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Direct correlation gives a simple picture: direct meaning 'straight' and correlation meaning 'connection', with two lines or arrows rising and falling together. So it means that when one thing 'increases' or 'decreases', the other does the same.
